Weird problem with GIF import

OrangeNero · Commander **Joined**: 11 Jan 2012

I made a test import of a gif file to shp and it worked flawlessly and all frames were done. Now when I try it again it only does the first frame.

The whole Conversion Range stuff isn't responding at all and I can't set anything there.

I have the shp of said gif so I got prove that it worked but now with any gif I have no success anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled OS SHP but still wont work. Help plz and if more info needed I will provide.

Also a small nuisance is when I should select which gif to use OS SHP does not find it when looking for all file types only when looking for .gif they show up.

Well you need the "show only first frame" tick box checked before choosing to import your file, otherwise it will only import the first frame and not the sequence.

Isn't it just:

Import
Image -> SHP
Select GIF
Set game TS and type Animation
OK

Tada, there it should be, in all its glory with all frames. But it ain't. Is driving me mad.Could swear I made it exactly like that before and it worked flawlessly...

Below the browse button on the import screen there is "View Only The First Frame Of The Package". That needs to be ticked for any multi-frame imports (BEFORE browsing for the file).

hm sry to bother again but now somethings wrong with the frames. They overlap instead of showing in a sequence.

hm shadows are unchecked by default. checking and unchecking it doesn't solve it. Well once we got it to work I could share some nice explosion anims Very Happy
